Sox: 5 Cards: 3
On the verge of being swept by the Cards, the Red Sox pull out a win thanks to a two-run shot by Youk in the 13th inning, his second homer of the day. Former Sox reliever turned Cards starter Joel Pineiro took the mound against emerging ace Jon Lester. Both pitched very well, but in the end were erased from the decision as Paps surrendered the tying run (on a fly ball that eluded Coco) in the 9th. It was a long battle of a game, to say the least. Props to Pedey for a 4-hit game! He and Youk led the Sox offense today.
The Sox have seen enough of the St. Louis club (and Oki has seen enough birds, period!) and for the next three games, the Snakes will be in town. The Arizona Diamondbacks, including JD's little bro Stephen, face the Sox beginning tomorrow with Beckett vs. former Oakland A Dan Haren.
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!!
